As photographers, we sometimes focus on the technical side of photography, the styling, or the trends – but if we would hold space for our clients & really open up ourselves to be able to truly see them – it would change our life, our work & our relationships completely. The power of making clients feel seen really goes a long way.
If we understood the gift we have, if we could grasp the magnitude and importance of just being available & open to our clients and how powerful and life-changing that can be – magic would truly happen. So if you are someone who really wants to connect, tell meaningful stories, and truly help your clients feel seen for who they are – this episode is for you.

How To Make Our Clients Feel Seen?
When it comes to photography, it is important that we build connections with our clients. Those are the moments that they remember most really what we enjoy right? There are so many ways to take little moments throughout not only your photoshoot but your entire client experience. I loved listening to Stormy’s process and how she makes every client feel special.
Another episode, “How to Get Kids to Cooperate During a Photoshoot” touches on this a bit and is great for makingthe photoshoot more enjoyable!
